Radius Ratio : The ratio between the peaks and the troughs of the star

Regular Polygon : Whether create a regular polygon instead of a star.

For Splines only, the tangent lengths for outer and inner vertices. Outer is limited to [-3,10] and inner is limited to [-3,3]. (If you find useful open those limitations please write it in the talk page)

When you select the Gradient Tool, the Panneau Options des Outils will show the options for the Gradient Tool.

These allow you to:

Name : Set a name for the layer you are about to create. The name of the layer can always be changed later via the Panneau Calques or the Panneau Paramètres if necessary, but the type of gradient needs to be chosen now.

Name : The name of the Spline that you will create is set by the text input box. In this case it is "NewSpline007". This input text will parse the end of the string if any integer number is found, increasing that number for the next time you create other Spline. If not number is found it adds a three digit number for the next Spline created.

Min Pressure : The value of this option clamps the lower end of the Pressure sensitivity to a specific value, essentially determining how thin the thinnest possible segment is relative to the Brush Size parameter in the Toolbox.

Smoothness : Determines how much tablet jitter is removed, and as a result, how many vertices the resulting splines are composed of. Could by Local or Global

Auto Loop : When the stroke of the "Draw Tool" ends near the beginning of the stroke, automatically connect the last Handle to the first.

Auto Extend : When the stroke begins and/or end at or near an endpoint Handle of another outline, the resulting outline is simply appended to the existing Outline Layer

Auto Link : When the stroke begins and/or ends at or near a vertex Handle in another outline, and the outline isn't being extended by the "Auto Extend" option above, the first and/or last vertex of the resulting outline is linked to the Handle on the existing Outline Layer.

Growth - Defines how much a single mouse move will affect the line width. It must be non-zero for this tool to have an effect on the spline.

Radius - Defines the size of area around current cursor position in which a vertex will be affected. It is allows you to achieve a noticeable effect without having to follow the line precisely with the mouse. The Width Tool works fine on splines with lots of segments (such as those created with the Draw Tool), you will see it works on more than just the first vertex. It is a full circular area, other points may get in the way though.

Relative Growth - Doesn't really work very well unless the "Radius" parameter is set to some huge value (like a million).

the Name used for the new layer; any number in this field will automatically increment with each layer created

"Multiline Editor" - whether to use a single or multi-line editor for entering the text. If a single line is used then the ↵ Enter key will submit the value. In the multi-line editor, you'll need to click the "OK" button with the mouse to confirm the text or hit Ctrl⇆ Tab to give focus to "OK" button.

"Size"XY - the horizontal and vertical size of the text

"Orientation"XY - the orientation of the text. The default (0.5, 0.5) means that the text will be centered around the point you clicked on. (0, 0) means that the top left corner of a box containing the text will be placed where you clicked. (1, 1) means that the bottom right corner of the text's bounding box will be placed where you clicked

Display the set of configured brushes (MyPaint brushes format). By default, synfig is installed with a selected set of brushes from "Concept Design (C_D)" pack by Ramon Miranda.From the Preferences Dialog, you can configure the "Brush Presets Path" to use other brushes package (for example the ones listed by MyPaint)
